I'm Bill , your driver / guide. I can't wait to take you for a fantastic day out here in The Highlands of Scotland. It really is a beautiful part of the world; I love it! Born and brought up in Edinburgh I spent most of my childhood holidays in The Highlands; winter holidays in The Cairngorms and summer holidays near Gairloch, over on the beautiful northwest coast. My early working life involved teaching skiing in the mountains here and in the Alps, and crewing for a yacht charter company on the west coast, occasionally serving beer and whisky to the thirsty locals of Badachro. There are stories!! �� I moved to Inverness after meeting my wife Catriona, a local lass, in the mid 90s. Many a happy day have been spent since then walking the hills, discovering beautiful lochs and glens and driving through the glorious landscapes we have here on our doorstep. Let me show you! We'll have a lot of fun too. We'll spend a day (or more) driving around in great comfort in either the V-class Mercedes for small groups of up to six travelers, or, for two or three folk, if you fancy getting the wind in your hair and feel the mountains peering down on you, how about going out in our E-class Mercedes convertible? Don't worry, we'll check the weather forecast (it has been known to rain here occasionally). If it's going to be wet, we'll keep warm and dry in the bigger Merc instead! Both vehicles are available for transfer tours. You're welcome to use me for your airport and/or hotel transfers. How about we meet down in Edinburgh or Glasgow and I drive you north for a day or two (or more), touring throughout Scotland. We can create a tour to meet your requirements; golf, whisky, hills & lochs…. Or we can just meander, take the back roads and just see where we end up. Where to? Anywhere! Let's Go! I look forward to meeting you here in the beautiful Highlands of Scotland. BA (hons) Leisure Management. Fully insured, including public liability.

We'll head north from Invergordon and drive around the Dornoch Firth to Dunrobin Castle. You'll have plenty of time to explore this fairy-tale castle before enjoying the falconry display in the castle's picturesque gardens. We can then begin our gentle meander back south. We'll visit the historic town of Dornoch and enjoy wander through its pretty town centre, and perhaps a walk on the beach. Option: We can then head to the tasting rooms at the famous Glenmorangie Distillery. Please let me know if you're interested in taking a distillery tour. Let's meet a Pictish Queen in Portmahomack, before heading out to see Tarbat Ness lighthouse. Then round the coast and through the seaboard villages of Shandwick, Balintore and Hilton of Cadboll where we'll encounter a couple of interesting Pictish stones AND the famous Mermaid of The North! From here a gentle drive back to Invergordon in good time for re-embarkation. It'll be a fantastic day out!!
